Own goal by yaya banana. Assist papou karpouzi?

It looks like PAS will sign James Efmorfidis during the transferwindow this winter. Efmorfidis is without contract after he ended his contract with AZ Alkmaar. See also Greek players abroad.

I'm amazed. Four in a row now for Lamprou. This time 0-0 away against PEC Zwolle, where Thanasis Karagounis plays but wasn't in the squad.

One of our scouts was once again in Portugal. He was watching the game Belenenses-Maritimo. Inpaok.com did not mention a name in particular.

One of the things UEFA General Secretary ad interim Theodore Theodoridis said: "We are happy that European football remains united behind the concepts of solidarity, fair competition, fair distribution and good governance." What a farce

@Bananas and @paokarag4, yes! See the video in this URL: http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2398899.html Just 6 (!) clubs from the countries ranked #11 till #55 wil enter the CL GS. 4 from the champions route, 2 from the league route. Tiny countries are strangled. I hope CL implodes.

Yes, but things will be changed to benefit the bigger clubs and countries. In the near future you have to move up to 10th to have that ticket. CL is becoming a big fat monster for the happy few. The times that a club like FC Basel or Genk survive the winterbreak might not be coming again. It is not only a matter of money (for the first time only 6(!) countries are involved in the last 16 of CL this season) but also policy (rule out the possibilities for the smaller clubs and countries by granting the bigger countries 4 participants).

Just to make it easier to survive for the first time in our history a round in Europe after the winterbreak.

Draw next Monday 13:00 CET.

Thank you, Pash! This is the nicest thing said to me today.....

1-2 Fiorentina!

Damn

2-0 Pelkinho as he is called on Metrosports.

HT 0:0 in Baku.

Another almost 2:0 (Matos)

Must be carefull with those yellow cards....

The last game has been rescheduled to December 14th. Kick-off in Eleusina is at 19.30 u.

And there is the hattrick!

And just when I wrote the above, he scored his second of the evening. Another easy goal (rebound).

Lucas Perez just scored for Arsenal in the CL. My late yiayia would have scored that too, but OK it will stay in his stats forever and in 5 years no-one will know how he did it.

I mentioned the GD in "the little league" with the three clubs involved. Therefore the GD is without the games against Fiorentina.

Berbatov is maybe moving to Oz. Western Sydney are interested in signing him for the Asian CL.
